1. Fridge not deep enough for 500ml bottles, I find myself choosing drinks on what will fit in the fridge
2. Stereo doesn't mute when reversing
3. (Might just be an iPhone issue), when on a call and call waiting appears on the iphone you can't answer it through the car
4. Rear interior and boot lights are poor

If that's the biggest stuff I've got to moan about it really must be a great car!

Not sure thats possible is it, I haven't been able to do this on any in car phone systems I've had (BMW and Audi mostly)
Edit: Do you mean swap using the car controls, or just swap the call in general

I'm wondering if this is improved in MY12 too, as I can see most stuff on the boot when the light comes on

Completely agree, I'm not sure anyone could say they've had/got a car that they are 100% happy with and wouldn't change anything  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Why is the cable connection socket for my iphone to play music behind me in the rear centre console in my MY57. Defo going to break my armrests keep leaning over, clearly need the new model

Not sure when this was corrected, but in MY12, its in the centre console lid. There are two USB ports, one for the Iphone/pod/pad etc, and one for USD drives.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

1. Sat Nav – still . Still doesn’t know how to estimate journey time. Still takes you on random routes. Annoying bug with the touch screen where you try to touch the zoom buttons but the map re-centres. Really sloppy integration, disappointing they didn’t fix this as it was also beyond in the previous car!
2. Not having the LCD for the music player. Okay the dash looks neater but it’s actually really annoying e.g. you are on the sat nav screen or messing with the surround cameras, now you don’t know what track you are on or how long is left to play. Also difficult to pause the track now (a few clicks rather than one).
3. Bluetooth still doesn’t work with the latest Blackberry.. probably not LR’s fault but isn’t the whole point of a protocol to eliminate compatibility issues like this!?
4. Surround cameras – a missed opportunity. They are gimmicky rather than useful, and the quality is about VGA rather than the HD it could have been. And how easy would it have been to offer a record facility given the sat nav is now running off a hard disk? And a view out of the rear-view mirror (frontwards) with the bonnet in shot?
5. Phone integration – speed dial/quick dial used to have a dedicated knob and was super super easy to use. Now you are manually clicking through menu’s to perform the same task – a step backward.
6. Mode – what the hell does the MODE button do? It appears to just show the different audio sources. You need a whole button and dial for that?!
7. Seat Pocket – there used to be a pocket on the front face of the drivers seat – really useful for gate fobs, car wash vouchers etc – it’s gone
8. Glove box – they are still tiny! This car has the biggest dash on the market and yet the glove boxes (both of them!) are minuscule!
9. In fact storage in general is awful for such a big car
10. Rear Interior Lights – still don’t come on when you open the door!! And no James I don’t buy the “they’re map reading lights” anymore than you do
11. Boot lighting – still awful
11. DAB reception – awful.. are we really going to move to this permanently within 3 years?! ============

The map re-centring rings a bell with me now - quite annoying. mean to see if there are voice controls i can use.

Used to have the same issue of zooming using the touch screen - now just use voice to "zoom in 1/2/3/4" and it works very well.
